This year's Red Dress Collection^® was hosted by The American Heart Association's Go Red for Women® and supported by the NIH National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) and Macy's. This widely publicized event took place on February 11, 2016, and kicked off New York Fashion Week. More than 20 celebrities walked the runway in red gowns in an effort to raise awareness that heart disease is the leading cause of death among women. The NIH/NHLBI supported this event by providing evidence-based scientific messaging to special guests, more than 100 media outlets, and the public.
